For all players who get cut from the high school team and are considering playing junior gold!!!
1. Junior gold hockey is the most fun hockey I have ever played
2. It is not the cheap league that it is sometimes stereotyped to be, but instead has been turned into a league where in my opinion is cleaner than a JV hockey game i played in the year befor
3. It keeps you involved in the game that we all love and you can continue to play in competitive hockey games all year round

So I am urging anyone who is deciding whether or not to tryout for junior gold to give it a shot you will not regret it!!!

I'm not sure I would say destroy, but many of the top teams could compete at a middle of the road varsity schedule, or an average class A schedule. Definitely a good option if a player doesnt make or doesnt want to play for their high school team. Sometimes it can be a bit rough but I wouldn't classify it as a goon league by any means. For those who love hockey, I highly recommend it.
